Avralize & Venues – Arising Empire Records

Fronted by vocalist Severin Sailer, guitarist Philipp Tenberken, drummer Bastian Gölz and bass player Valentin Noack; AVRALIZE [ˈɔːrəlaɪz] recently launched pre-orders for their debut album »FREAKS«, showcasing a compelling fusion of artistic elegance, heavy deathcore components, and captivating futuristic sounds that promise to take fans on a journey to otherworldly realms.
»FREAKS« will be out worldwide on March 22nd via Arising Empire!Today, AVRALIZE present you their new single ‘OVERDOSE‘ that captivates with its strong mix of deep melodies and lively vigor, reinforcing their now established presence in the music industry.Many worlds come together. A mix of vibe, technique and artistic creativity meets destructive breakdowns, provoking guitar riffs and catchy choruses. With finesse, the four guys from south Germany strike the perfect balance between the brutality of the deliberately used deathcore elements while incorporating a massive production and exciting grooves that you just want to dance to. AVRALIZE stands for perception through sound. That’s why the band has set itself the task of using certain stylistic devices, such as futuristic sounds and melodies to cast a spell over their fans and let them wander into distant worlds.

 

 

 

The Album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Manuel Renner: renowned producer that has worked on some critically acclaimed albums with acts such as Our Promise, Senna, Consvmer and many more.

“Releasing FREAKS is a wake-up call for all the people out there who feel lost, rejected, and abnormal. Nothing is “normal”, nothing is “right” or “wrong”. We live in a world full of rules, but who has the right to set these rules? They exist subconsciously and can grow into walls with just one disapproving glance. Walls that hold us back from expressing ourselves and finding our true selves.” – Severin (vocals)

 

Having shared the stage with scene heavyweights like Ghostkid, Novelists, Paleface and Of Virtue, the group quickly established a reputation for their energetic live show that turns their crowds into a giant party on a regular basis. Despite their relatively short time as a band since their formation, AVRALIZE already performed at established festivals like Southside, Hurricane and RockXplosion.

The sparrows have been chirping it from the rooftops for a while, but now it’s official certainty: in 2024, VENUES will unfold to their full size for the first time. And we’re all here to witness it live. 

In short: With their third album »Transience« the band effortlessly shifts the boundaries of what’s possible in modern metal, out worldwide on March 29th via Arising Empire!

 

Adding to their momentous year, VENUES has also released a new single ‘Godspeed, Goodbye‘ out now, further showcasing their evolving sound and musical depth.

 

After the two strong benchmarks »Aspire« and »Solace« which oscillated somewhere between post-hardcore, alternative metal, and metalcore, the Stuttgart-based band definitively tears down all barriers, boundaries, and bulwarks. »Transience« unleashes an emotional cascade full of grand melodies, visionary soundscapes, abyssal hardness, and raw, unfiltered emotion. This is not just an album. It’s catharsis. Medicine for a sick world. The antidote to dreariness, indifference, coldness.

 

You hear it, you feel it: The ten songs of »Transience« revolve around transience, about farewell, new beginnings, and the inevitability of change, are emotional projectiles that hit exactly where they hurt the most: In our wounded hearts.

 

Recorded in three creative and harmonious sessions with their regular producer Christoph Wieczorek(Annisokay) at the Sawdust Recordings in Halle, the Stuttgart band’s third album carries all the pain of a wounded world within it.

VENUES do not look away, repress nothing, sugarcoat nothing. Yet, they also do not give up on themselves or this world and sing, scream, play against the feeling of powerlessness. They do not close their eyes to toxic relationships (‘Unspoken Words’),

they channel emotional baggage (‘Godspeed, Goodbye‘). But VENUES are most moving in their most intimate moments. When Robin addresses his mother’s cancer in ‘Braille‘ or Lela sings about captivity in the oppressive ‘Coming Home’.

“I have yet to manage to sing this song without crying”, she says softly.
